| Summary |
"A gripping and exquisitly crafted psychological suspense novel inspired by a true crime story that asks: How could a seemingly 'normal' person commit an atrocious crime? Everyone in the sleepy French Alpine village of Carmac knows one another, and most of its residents look alike--until Bakary and Sylvia Langlois arrive with their three children. Wealthy and flashy, with an impressive chalet and three expensive cars, the family of five are outsiders in the small town. Despite their differences, the Langloises form an uneasy friendship with their next-door neighbors, Anna and Constant Guillot. But when both families begin experiencing financial difficulties, the underlying class and racial tensions of their relationships come to a breaking point and the unthinkable happens"-- Back cover. |
